Yo's-<br>
<br>
I stayed away from certain protests because it was known that Black
Bloc (who are not black and are not from around the block) would be
stirring up shit. <br>
<br>
Their tactic boils down to: infiltrate someone else's protest, then
provoke the cops into over-reacting and hurting innocent protesters,
and then try to use the police over-reaction as an excuse to stir up
The Revolution. I call that "revolution over _someone else's_ dead
body," and yeah it's basically cowardly.<br>
<br>
I guarantee, with 100% certainty, that there is at least one
deliberate infiltrator/provocateur in Black Bloc, whose real goal is
to destroy the effectiveness of various movements & protests in
the Bay Area. The rest of 'em, who do it for the jollies, are
basically provocateur scabs, working for free and thereby
undercutting the wages that might otherwise be paid to professional
provocateurs. <br>

Just passing on the message for transparency so y'all are
aware of the temperature of our landlords. That said, please
do remember to close doors behind you when entering and
exiting the building, *always and especially* if you go out
the front (Broadway-side) door or down the stairs to the
side door (the door to the stairs). Otherwise alarms go off
and George calls and yells at me/sudoers :)<br clear="all">

<div dir="ltr">so many things to say about this. but I
really don't want this to turn into a black-bloc flame
war. But, let me just say if this sounds strangely
like a fear tactic and until reading this you never
thought to feel personally threatened by the mythical
black-bloc group.. there's a reason, cause it's mostly
BS. The Oscar Grant riot was a bunch of people without
mask looting stuff... this hasn't happened once during
the occupy movement.

The flier above (pdf)
are guidelines for
tomorrow night's First
Friday Event<br>
in lieu of expected
potential violence
from the group listed
in the web site<br>
above. Apparently at
sites (unknown to me)
this black bloc group
has been<br>
advocating that people
come out en mass and
cause trouble after
First Friday<br>
is over. We are
asking that groups
meeting in the
building disburse by<br>
11pm and that all
doors, esp. doors to
Broadway, 22nd Street
and the Alley<br>
behind out of 2135, as
well as the gate into
the front entrance of
2135, be<br>
securely locked by
this time. George
will be there at that
time to convince<br>
all to leave the
building and he will
secure it.<br>
<br>
Groups or individuals
not adhering to this
warning and coming
back to the<br>
building after that
time may find
themselves responsible
not only for<br>
damages to their
persons but damage
done to the building
or others.<br>
This is a serious
issue; even the
Security Ambassadors
are being asked to go<br>
home by midnight for
their own personal
safety, and there is
no expectation<br>
that the police will
have enough personnel
on the streets should
this get<br>
out of hand.<br>
Many of you were not
there a few years ago
during the (Oscar
Grant)<br>
riots....it was not
pretty, and there WAS
damage to our
property. Trouble<br>
is NOT expected early
in the evening. Enjoy
yourselves, but try to
monitor<br>
alcohol consumption
(your own and those
around you) for the
safety of all<br>
tomorrow evening...and
get home early....and
SAFELY!<br>
<br>
Laurie & George<br>
